God's Victory is Absolute
Commentators emphasize that the defeat of the enemy is not temporary but absolute. Their ability to cause destruction is brought to a "perpetual end." God's victory is so complete that He not only overthrows the wicked but erases their legacy, so that even the "very remembrance of them is perished." This assures believers that evil will not have the last word.
